Hi @KN_0639,

Could you share which version of InDesign and operating system you’re using? Also, where is this affected file stored? On your local system drive, an external drive, a remote location, or the cloud?

As Robert asked, are you able to access and open the file without any issues? If so, try saving it as an IDML file, reopen it in InDesign, and then attempt to export it as a PDF again.

Let me know how it goes. Looking forward to your update!

One of your links may be corrupt, to find it, try exporting in sections, until you see the error (divide & conquer method), open and re-save the corrupt link, then update and export.
